Canada. Manpower and Immigration. Opportunities for Youth Program : The Opportunities for Youth (OFY) program was established in 1971 and was initially administered by the Department of the Secretary of State. It was transferred to the Department of Manpower and Immigration in 1973. The OFY program commenced with a budget of 4.7 million in funding. This amount was raised to 8.7 million the following year. During the first year, more than 2300 projects were approved, which provided employment to approximately 28,000 students.

The intent of the Program was to challenge students' creativity by providing funds to create and manage their own socially relevant employment. The main target group was post-secondary students in high rural unemployment and disadvantaged economic regions. The primary goals of the OFY program were the following: to provide student summer employment without creating competition between students and members of the permanent labour force; to create jobs which would be seen as meaningful and were initiated and controlled by student participants; and to create national unity through creating a general awareness and affection for the country. The objective was to provide three months of summer employment for students that would afford the participants with new skills and would ultimately benefit communities through the provision of special services, programs or activities.

The project activities that were undertaken by OFY participants ranged from the co-ordination of recreational programs for children and senior citizens to the publication of underground newspapers, birth control centres, day-care centres, tenant associations and welfare rights groups. While most of the OFY projects provided worthwhile services to the community, some of the more "radical" projects generated a great deal of controversy the first couple of years after the program was created. Over the course of a three month period during the first year of its existence, over 2,500 press clipping and editorials were recorded pertaining to the OFY program or individual projects. There were also lively debates in the House of Commons about controversial projects that were funded through OFY that involved communes, radical newspapers and American draft-dodgers. In response to this criticism, the Department altered the criteria for OFY projects in 1972, so that all applicants were required to provide a letter of support from an established community organization before it could be approved. This new policy served in discouraging the more controversial "radical" ventures undertaken by students during the first year of the program. The Opportunities for Youth program had remained a successful initiative that provided much needed employment to Canadian students. In 1977, the OFY program was canceled and replaced by the Young Canada Works Program. RG118 General Inventory
